Donner, party of ate!

Stay away from the chicken fingers. (Hint: chickens don't have fingers.)

Back in the dark ages when I was a waiter, I used to tell kids that ordered chicken fingers, "We are out of chicken fingers, are toes ok?" Usually, they'd get wide eyed and then say, "It's fine". Sometimes a mom would interrupt and ask if they were really toes.

How would you tell the difference?

Mongooses love those! Even frozen

Chicken feet were a staple of our culinary heritage. Usually braised in some way or stewed with the other meats in making a tomato sauce. If the chicken was butchered at home, the intestines were cleaned and wrapped around the straight part of each foot, made for a more substantial portion.

But we always cut off the claws before cooking.

I'd be sticking to the vegetarian options here as well.

Wassamatter Scooter? You don't like long pig if it has been frozen? Is fresh ok? I think the story of the Donner party is a wonderful lesson in the American way of Hubris.

My mother loved chicken feet. I never could see any value in cooking them.
